I havent traveled real far lookin yet, but i havent found hardly any w250 or w350s in junk yards in my area lol. Tho i did measure the leafs on my buddies 85 chevy 1ton and looked like they would be a direct swap. But, im kinda leanin towards a new set if i dont find any good used ones for cheap.

There is a thread on it here, search for it. It also has some pretty good pictures too, particularly showing the new found flex of the springs.

That would be me! And here's the thread.https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...t=alcan+spring
